{quote} Some will say that it is easy in sim, but I really take it seriously. I had to do it to protect myself from my inner demons. I tracked every trade in a spreadsheet and also screen-shotted my behaviour, which was really sobering at first... Developing confidence in your own setups takes time and patience, but even after a bad day or two I have my data to reflect on to give me encouragement.

I am doing the same thing actually, i try to keep notes of what i am thinking during price movement. And after de session i review everything after the fact.

Thought the run down could get to daily pivot but came short as ES tagged its pivot and came back through.
I have a +2 and a +16 now

I'm doing something like this as well, logging all my trades with type of setup, outcome, emotion, what did I learn/comment and did I follow my rules. Added a little habbit tracker to this last one, if I followed my rules and type yes the cell turns green if no the cell turns red. Aim is not to break the chain of green cell. Today started with 3 reds followed by 3 greens. I also have an after session review, what went right, what needs attention etc. I also record my session to review afterwards.

After testing a couple of setups/patterrns/chart layouts in last few days I noticed that I need basic charts otherwise I'm getting into decision fatique. So today it was back to basics, had some computer issues at the start which distracted me a bit and resulted in one loss. But once sorted got couple of BE's and two nice +25 for +44 with 6 trades.

I am glad to be consistent. Later there is potential for adding to the contracts a bit. Live account going well. Thanks all.

Only got the last 20 mins up to 3.30, but down -12 and price isn't behaving in the way my handwriting expects. So thats it for today.

When ES couldnt hold below yesterday's low, they both headed north to the daily pivots. Just my 2 cents.

Sierra is FAR powerful than one can ever imagine. Pretty much anything is possible to do without any programming knowledge. You can use the same technique to do MTF across a bunch of timeframes or tick/volume charts or chart types... all of that shit in just one chart is fabulous to find confluence and high probability setups.... but as good as I am in bringing software systems to it's knees, Sierra is holding up VERY well as a 64-bit application because it is written in native C. Kudos to the designers!

Now, there is a flaw that I want to report. Market Replay will produce inconsistent results if run on "high speed of 30+" for a complex setup. I caught this late last night. There is also a bug in the way it handles gaps inbetween sessions. but all in all, a fabulous product. Thanks to Nick, I am hooked.
Staying in my lane...
